NEW YORK CLOCK
~ Circa -1830 – 1870
~There are only three known to be in existence from this manufacturer. Probably the most prominent one is still in service at the New York Stock Exchange Board Room. If you Google New York Stock Exchange Board Room you will find that clock pictured in some of the photos. The other known clock is a very Gothic Victorian steeple top astronomical clock. The one you see here is solid mahogany with crotch mahogany veneer. It has a mercury compensating pendulum with a brass engraved silvered dial. This is also an astronomical regulator. The astronomical regulators were used as fine precision timepieces in locations that required the utmost accuracy like observatories.
William F. Ladd had a shop on Wall Street, he is noted on the New York Registry as a watchmaker in 1839.

~ The model 58 was made in three sizes, the more common are the larger … very unusual to find this which is the smallest.

The smallest was 42″ with an 8″ dial; the middle size was 51″ with a 10″ dial; this is the smallest model. It’s appeared in the 1900 catalogue.

Prentiss Gallery Clock
~ Circa – 1890
~ DIAL 17 inch marble
~ CASE wood
~ MOVEMENT 30 day double spring single arbor wind movement
~ DIMENSIONS case is 24 inches high and 54 inches long
~ COMMENTS These movements were never sold, they were rented for use with calendar and other precise timepieces… their reputation was for accuracy and they competed successfully with the eclectically connected and synchronized clocks of other companies…. these clocks were found in libraries, train stations, ferry terminals and court houses … not for sale but always looking for others of this style or interest. This one came from Grand Central Station when they converted to electric clocks.
